Well said.

The only thing I would add is that you have to ensure that you set the intention to create the income. I've seen too many people who love what they do but never learn the business skills to convert that skill into business revenue. They run their business to "help the community" or "serve their clients" which are very noble things to do. But if you don't have money flowing into the business on a regular basis, you are just running a very expensive hobby...and it won't last.

I know...because I was one of those people. Luckily I found a really good business mentor who taught me how to monetize my passion.
